Lockly - Secure Plus Smart Lock Replacement Deadbolt with 3D Biometric Fingerprint/App/Physical Key - Venetian Bronze

The Lockly Secure Plus is a solid choice for users wanting biometric access and Alexa/Google integration, but those seeking a sleeker design or smoother app experience might look elsewhere.

The Lockly Secure Plus Smart Lock offers a solid mix of biometric fingerprint access, app control, and a physical key backup, all wrapped in a stylish Venetian Bronze finish. Its standout feature is the 3D fingerprint sensor, which tends to be more accurate than many cheaper capacitive sensors, reducing false rejections. The lock supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home, enabling voice commands and smart home integration. However, the app experience can feel a bit clunky compared to competitors like August or Schlage, with occasional connectivity hiccups reported. Battery life is decent, typically lasting around 6-8 months on standard AA batteries, but it lacks a direct low-battery alert on the lock itself, relying on app notifications which some users miss. Installation is straightforward for those comfortable with basic tools, but the lock’s bulkier design may not fit all door types without modification. This lock is a good fit for users who want biometric access without sacrificing traditional key options and who are invested in Alexa or Google ecosystems. Those looking for a sleeker design or more seamless app experience might consider alternatives. Also, if you need Apple HomeKit compatibility, this model doesn’t support it. Overall, it balances security features and smart functionality but with some trade-offs in app polish and installation flexibility.
